Ok, so I went and looked it up.  The way we used to do this was to
kick of the restore with the "tapeprompt" option.  This would cause
the client to pause before the tape was mounted, and prompt if you
wanted to mount the tape.  If you select no, then it does not restore
anything, and goes on to the next tape.  Just pick no on each one, and
write down the tapes it asks for.

The sho bfo works too, but can be annoying if you want to restore a
whole directory.

Hope someone finds this useful.  :)

I was just browsing the publib...

to do a preview restore from the client that will prompt for tapes
that are required to do the restore.  I would tackle it that way.

I was expecting the same, but I can't find it, so maybe that was
wishful thinking... Maybe in a next release. Of course, one could
quite easily code this using the api, if you really wanted to....
